Donxavier:

You are not yet ready
The day you get ready, you will pay. It's the consular rate of exchange nothing can be done about it. As to whether its a rip off, that's a topic for another day.
Visa is 78,030. You will also pay 400 for sms and 500 for VFS charges, that's like 79k. That's the amount it will cost you. Just take 79k there and then take your passport there before you enter, that's another 1k so 80k.

Lol. Applied yesterday at Lekki, got a text at night saying my application had been sent for processing. Now, i wait...

By the way, congrats on your visa. Wishing you a great year ahead

Dear friends from Nigeria,
I have got my visa today. Sure there shouldn't be a comparison in processing times away from Nigeria. Different countries have different processing times. Applied on 27th August,issued on 3rd September, collected on 5th september. I can't believe getting it just after 5 working days. Guys I love you all. Thanks to donxiaver, dharkchild and all of your. When worries are being shared , what wins is the human existence.

Just one question left.. In the university's before-arrival brochure , it's stated that if I am bringing cash with me, there should be an amount equivalent to 10000 Euros or above upon arrival. Now, it's just a problem. How could there be different UKBA requirements in different contexts. I thought I should be showing only the required amount for the spanned 9 months stay and now I have just realized that it's a must adding extra amount of money..

Is what I understand correct or it's just another terminal of trouble..

Above all , I have got my visa.. It's a victory either way...

Dharkchild: @Loriante which school u heading to?

I am heading to University of Salford,Greater Manchester..

Hope seeing you there friend.

Hey, congrats on the success of your application. You misinterpreted the ukba guidance about how much we can take wit us. You are actually not allowed to take more than €10000 or its equivalent in any other currency. See you in manchester.

See I told you, you were going to get it
Congratulations.

Well, Nigeria is Nigeria and for known reasons ours take 15 working days. Don't want to get into the complexities of that.

It's €10000 or less not More and it's safer that way. When you settle there, they can send money to you by bank transfer.

Enjoy the moment. Will see you in the UK.

Yep, u wait and it will turn out fine.

shemy: Can a relative collect visa on one's behalf?

Good question. Anyone in the house with an idea?

dappy daniel: hello good people, can i roam my ETISALAT line in the uk??

Yes. And to avoid high charges, just use it to receive text messages. Dont pick calls on it except you want to be charged. If its someone you want to talk to, you can always call back with with cheaper options by using your UK line, call card or skype.

They may ask abt finances.

salsera: I presume u are nigerian

Do they ask Nigerian students different questions from other foreign students?

Donxavier:

Imagine, almost 200k. Return on virgin is cheaper. Why transit in madrid if you can go straight for less? Don't understand why people wanna fly iberia if it's this costly.

My first time of going thru dis process;probably nxt time I would look for a better deal. By d way I neva enter plane before so I get to enter airplane two times

kdavis:

You know that was my gut feeling. I wanted to say are freaked by going thru 2 planes and 2 countries but I thought it would sound too harsh so I decided against it.

It's all good.

Pls is there any1 who applied on the 14th at ikeja , does any1 know if the courier (ups) works on saturdays or does any 1 have their contact number for PH

@everybody!!
I thought I was macho...12 working days now, woke up this morning and I almost freaked out!!
Pardon my rookie question, but shebi I can just go to VFS on the 15th working day, whether I get a text or not, whether the tracking shows ready or not, I guess the worst thing that will happen is that they will tell me its not ready and I should come back, and it could be readyt sef and their tracker and SMS alert is not working!!!!!!!!!!!
(Phew!!! am freaking out)

By The Way.....Congrats to everyone who got a Visa!!!
